Systems we build for real estate brokerages
An Operations System Built for How Real Estate Brokerages Actually Work
websquids builds custom operations systems for real estate brokerages in Saudi Arabia and the UAE that unify listings, leads, deal pipeline, commission tracking, and client communication into one platform — replacing the mix of WhatsApp groups, spreadsheets, and generic CRMs most brokerages run on today.
We map how your brokerage runs today, from the first lead to the commission.
The pain we hear from brokerage founders
- "Leads come in through WhatsApp, a landing page form, and a walk-in register — and none of them talk to each other."
- "Deal status lives in one agent's head. If they're on leave, nobody knows where things stand."
- "Commission splits are calculated by hand in a spreadsheet, and mistakes only get caught when someone complains."
- "Clients message me directly asking for updates because they have no way to check status themselves."
- "Listings get updated on the portal, on our site, and in a spreadsheet — separately, manually, every time."
A generic CRM doesn't fix this. Most weren't built around a listing-to-commission workflow — they force your team to bend the process to fit the tool.
What we'd build for you

Why real estate is a strong fit for a custom system
Real estate brokerages in the Gulf combine high transaction value, multi-step approval chains, and heavy WhatsApp-based communication — the exact combination that makes manual operations expensive to keep running as a brokerage grows. A missed follow-up or a commission-calculation error costs real money, not just time. That makes the ROI case for a custom system unusually direct compared to most service businesses.

What this typically costs and takes
A real estate operations system (listings, pipeline, commission tracking, client portal) typically falls in the mid-complexity range: $13,000–$40,000, 8–14 weeks, depending on how many modules you need and what it integrates with (property portals, WhatsApp Business, accounting software). See the full cost guide.
FAQs
Typically: listings management, lead and pipeline tracking, deal/document workflow, commission calculation, a client-facing portal, and reporting dashboards. Scope is tailored to your specific workflow, not a fixed package.
Integration scope depends on what each property portal lets us connect to. We assess this on the call and confirm what's technically possible before quoting.
Yes — commission logic (splits, tiers, overrides) is one of the most common reasons brokerages move off spreadsheets, because manual calculation is where errors and disputes happen most.
It can. Given how much Gulf real estate communication already happens on WhatsApp, integrating WhatsApp Business into lead capture or client updates is a common addition — scoped based on your current process.
Off-the-shelf CRMs assume a generic sales process. A custom system is built around your specific approval chain, commission structure, and reporting needs — no working around features that don't match how your brokerage actually operates.
Typically $13,000–$40,000 for a multi-module operations system, over 8–14 weeks. Exact price depends on scope and integrations.
